BST to This is the Place and back.  We lucked out with the weather and it didn't snow on us.  There were however, a few inches of fresh snow covering the trail.  It was enough to completely hide holes, rocks, ice, icy puddles, and other hazards.  This made for some challenging, slow, and exhausting running.

Any Tibetian prayer flags?

WOW! That is a long *obstacle course* run! Always scary to have hidden hazards. GREAT workout! You are da bomb on uneven terrain! SO READY for the Buffalo Run!

Nicely done. Just curious, how long did the run take you?

I guess any flags would have been buried in snow.

It took 4:48. (I was under 5 hours at last year's Buffalo Run, which was almost 10 miles farther). Today mile 22 was back on the pavement and I ran it at 7:12- downhill. My legs were shot by then.

Sounds like a really tough run.
